A lot of tags do, to be honest, but horror is ridiculous. Anything with art that someone might consider scary in any chapter will end up tagged as horror even though the point of the series itself isn't anything to do with horror. Jojo (multiple parts), Oyasumi Punpun, Dorohedoro, and Chainsaw Man are all large examples of this happening.

For some people Gore is part of Horror because Gore itself horrified them. I guess that's why those mangas has Horror tag.
The tag also prepares those who are easily scared.

If you feel that tags need to be added or removed from a title use the report button on the title page.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that there is many types of horror. Horror isn't always about being "scary" but can be about something that makes you very uncomfortable.
